I am wanting to upgrade my old mac mini to the new version with the M01 chip. Can I bring Firefox and all my extensions to Big Sur on Apple?

You can possibly use Sync to transfer your add-ons and some other personal data.

Alternatively you can transfer data directly using a removable UBS drive.

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
